My friend has a cyano problem;-)

Anywho made a keen observation on chemiclean, it drops your PH big time. That may be a reason people have had crashes. I've always turned my powerheads up when I've dosed out of precaution to get some extra Oxygen in the tank.

What worked for me was free (no chemicals)....less feedings and less light and cyano was gone in a couple of days

Did he play with your hair while he told you about his product? Bacteria talk, bbq 101, and the smell of Stetson cologne from the local Sav-ons lingering in the air. Sounds like a lovely evening.

Of course... you were there too but you were to busy trying to get your man thong on and shaving your bikini line. I think sahn was on your mind also cause I saw you tear up a lil when you saw his pic

whenever i have a cyano or nuisance algae problem i turn off my light for a day. and doesnt hurt the corals!

just make sure to skim a lot that way when the algae begins to breakdown it is removed from the system.

Conch snails devour cyano, the only problem is they don't like to climb on rocks. If you mostly have cyano on the sand then they will do the trick. Usually 1 snail per 20-40 gallons.

ooh now to find some conch snails for sale

I had cyano for about 6 or 7 months. The problem with a conch is that it only take care of your sand bed not your rocks.
I now use Red Sea no3, po4x and have no cyano problem.

Any specific type? I have around 6 fighting conchs never seen them touch the stuff. But they only come out at night so who's to say.

Hey did you see any effects from the bacteria you added?

I secretly started running bio-pellets about 2 months ago lol. I didn't want to tell anyone in case I F***ed everything up. But so far so good except I got some cyano now. I thought it was bad filters but I changed everything. Next is the lights but the t5 group buy is taking long. Wondering If you had any positive effects from the bacteria

 

[pgr11]

The waste away helps with that. I started dosing it when I started pellets.

Chemiclean all the way. I hate adding stuff in my reef but this does the trick and hasnt harmed one thing in my tank.
